Chapter 94

After finishing its meal, the deep blue mass turned to look at a certain spot, where Bai Qi was located.
Feeling the presence of the other party, all the tentacles paused. This person's aura made him uncontsciously agitated, but it was mysteriously suppressed again.
Is that person the Emperor?
Bai Qi looked at the current abilities displayed by the tentacles and was very satisfied.
Once he could fully control the Prince, giving it the bodies of warriors to devour would be even more perfect.
Then Bai Qi began to strengthen his control over the Prince, inputting various commands into the half golden brain every day. The Prince could not resist the orders from the Emperor in his mind and had to execute them while feeling agitated.
Bai Qi naturally sensed the other party's emotions. Controlling the Prince was also somewhat taxing for him. The Prince reluctantly followed his orders, occasionally resisting, which greatly drained his mental energy. After just an hour, he could no longer sustain the control and had to temporarily disconnect.
Old Qi observed Bai Qi's progress and felt that completely controlling the insect Prince might take a lot of time, and there was no guarantee of success.
The Prince still had a rebellious spirit even when it was at its weakest.
Perhaps they needed to think of other methods.
He stared at the half golden brain, lost in thought.
Soon, he turned to look at Bai Qi, his gaze shifting between Bai Qi's head and the golden brain.
Since Bai Qi couldn't smoothly control the insect Prince through the medium of the Emperor's brain, it might be better to directly implant the Emperor's brain and use this half brain for transformation, making him half an Emperor.
Wouldn't controlling the insect Prince then be truly fitting?
Emperors have always been powerful, and Bai Qi has always aspired to be strong. Given that his ancestor was modified and possessed those genes, Bai Qi might also be highly suitable.
When Bai Qi was once again exhausted by the Prince, Old Qi shared his crazy idea, "Actually, the Emperor's brain now has no consciousness; you would naturally be the one in charge. After the transformation, your physical constitution and mental energy will approach that of an Emperor, breaking through 3S should not be a problem."
Bai Qi wasn't foolish, "Transformation ultimately carries too much risk. We need to see if I can't control the Prince in the coming period before considering your suggestion. Besides, without a hundred percent success rate, I won't agree."
Old Qi nodded, "Of course, without absolute certainty, I wouldn't easily help with the transformation either."
On the other side, the tentacle egg and the deep blue tentacles were both full and quiet.
Seeing this, Bai Xiaoyu turned and went to the nursery room, looking at the last two dormant eggs that hadn't hatched yet. He took out the prepared inkstone, brush, and the life essence agent made from the blue tentacle medicine beads, planning to quickly awaken these two eggs.
After all, the longer the eggs remained dormant, the worse their condition would become, affecting subsequent incubation.
Although it wasn't live streaming time, Bai Xiaoyu informed Xiao Yue. This was at the other party's request. Of course, the interns and two assistants were also present.
Therefore, the seven younglings were left with Ye Feng, not brought over to cause trouble. If the active younglings did something, it could affect Bai Xiaoyu, and regret might come too late.
The parents of the other dormant eggs had all watched the live stream and naturally cared deeply about their eggs, constantly seeking updates from Bai Xiaoyu. He had just finished talking to the parent of the egg that had been dormant for ten years.
Now Xiao Yue also placed great importance on this egg, standing nearby without daring to breathe loudly or say too much, fearing he might put too much pressure on Bai Xiaoyu.
In contrast, the egg sent by the Royal Nursery had no parent listed, just like Little One.
Could this be another offspring of that cheap father?
Bai Xiaoyu felt this possibility was high. Previously, he had reported this to President Luo of the Cultivation Association, who promised to relay the message. But there had been no further response.
President Luo's character, after previous interactions, was trustworthy. So the issue clearly lay with the Royal Nursery.
Without a response, Bai Xiaoyu had no choice but to notify the parent of this egg, which had been dormant for twenty-three years. With the situation urgent, he had to start working on this egg to bring it back to life soon.
Besides Xiao Yue, there were also Big Black Egg, Metal Egg, and Little One. The three didn't want to stay together, instead standing in different directions, each equidistant from Bai Xiaoyu. They refused to be farther apart. If one moved closer, the others followed suit.
Bai Xiaoyu knew they had their limits and didn't interfere.
He glanced at Xiao Yue, whose fists were tightly clenched in tension, wanting to reassure him. After all, the success rate was high this time. But what if something went wrong?
So Bai Xiaoyu merely nodded slightly at Xiao Yue, then quickly placed the inkstone, brush, and life essence agent inside. Almost immediately, he injected the life essence agent.
The data outside changed dramatically, but the life essence agent, rich in vitality, proved effective, bringing the egg's activity level close to that of a normal egg. Even though it dropped quickly, it was enough to complete the final stroke.
After Bai Xiaoyu carried out the dull-shelled egg, Xiao Yue came over and gently touched it, feeling its slight coolness, almost tearing up.
Twenty-one years, the egg entrusted to him by his parents, finally able to see the light of day.
Bai Xiaoyu patted his shoulder and turned to continue working on the most dangerous egg.
He paused briefly, adjusting his state to the best, took a deep breath, and opened the device containing the egg.
Even with just a small opening, the egg's condition reacted intensely. Zhang Yi and Lu Qing, who were monitoring the display, broke out in cold sweat.
This time, Bai Xiaoyu knew the egg's condition. He inserted seven brushes and, while injecting the life essence agent, used his mental energy to form seven transparent hands, quickly drawing seals around the egg.
Even with such speed, it still couldn't keep up with the egg's dropping activity level. As it approached a critical point, Bai Xiaoyu used the transparent hands to inject another dose of life essence agent.
Finally, with two doses of life essence agent and a speed seven times faster than before, the egg was successfully sealed and carried out.
This egg was quite large, the size of a basketball, with a slightly grayish shell. Against the black seal patterns, it looked even duller, with faint cracks visible.
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief seeing the egg's low but stable state in the transparent container.
This egg almost didn't make it.
Especially Zhang Yi and Lu Qing felt that in such a situation, their hands would have been shaking, unable to save the egg under such extreme conditions.
Now, they were learning alongside the interns, lagging behind but reaching the third stage of mental touch differentiation.
Bai Xiaoyu had previously told them that after this stage, they would be barely capable of handling things independently, but now they felt it was far from enough.
They still had a lot to learn.
The interns felt the same way, suddenly realizing that they were far from being able to handle their tasks without making mistakes.
Bai Xiaoyu looked at a row of twelve eggs in transparent containers and nodded in satisfaction.
Finally, he had safely transferred all these dormant eggs. Next, he needed to examine their internal conditions to understand why they had chosen to go into dormancy and then tackle the challenges of nurturing them.
Over the next few days, Bai Xiaoyu gradually unfroze the dormant eggs.
The first egg was in the best condition, having been placed in an environment simulating the womb, with nutrients provided as if it were still inside its mother. Not only the temperature and fluid composition but even the heartbeat of the mother was replicated.
After three days, Bai Xiaoyu assessed the stability of this egg and determined that his mental energy could enter without affecting the life within.
When his mental energy entered the transparent container, he found the sensation similar to when he had touched Qi Yanhuan's egg. Tao Limeng’s work in his field was indeed reliable.
He gently tapped the egg with his mental energy and cautiously probed deeper.
He quickly realized why this seemingly healthy egg had been chosen for dormancy.
Penetrating the clear albumen, Bai Xiaoyu's mental energy revealed a peculiar yolk in the center of the egg.
Upon closer inspection, he saw that it wasn't one yolk but two, fused together, inseparable.
After examining it, Bai Xiaoyu was somewhat stunned.
The egg's overall health was good, but the fused yolks posed a challenge.
He believed he could hatch it, but the outcome was uncertain; the two hatchlings might not be able to separate.
So he approached the parents and explained the situation.
Having chosen dormancy for three years, the parents now understood and expressed that they would be satisfied as long as the hatchling was healthy.
Continuing his examination, he found that two other eggs that had also been dormant for three years were similarly affected, with scattered yolks.
In the starry expanse, eggs needed to be detected early for signs of scattered yolks to be treated with restorative agents. This was similar to the batch of eggs Bai Xiaoyu had hatched, which had been discovered in time.
These two eggs showed signs of scattered yolks only after the process began, leaving no choice but dormancy.
Surprisingly, six out of the eggs showed signs of scattered yolks, with the worst one nearly liquefied, ready to break through the membrane.
All these scattered yolk eggs had been dormant for less than ten years, causing Bai Xiaoyu considerable concern.
Fixing these eggs was not as simple as the first batch of smaller ones. He had no concrete plan yet, which added to his worry.
Due to these scattered yolk eggs, Bai Xiaoyu slowed down the unfreezing process.
He continued to examine the next egg, which seemed fine but was inherently weak and couldn’t survive until hatching. This egg was easier to handle compared to the others.
Bai Xiaoyu moved on to the next egg, which was also in poor condition. Upon probing further, he found the yolk and albumen to be gray, emitting a deathly aura.
Seeing the deathly aura between the yolk and albumen, Bai Xiaoyu felt like rubbing his forehead.
Another headache-inducing case.
Continuing his examination, each egg presented more challenges.
The next egg had a tiny yolk, indicating developmental issues during gestation. The football-sized egg contained a yolk the size of a grape.
Thus, he finished examining nine eggs dormant for three to ten years. The eggs dormant for twenty years would need another three days.
Three days later, the first twenty-year-dormant egg reached a stable state, and Bai Xiaoyu immediately examined it.
His face soon showed surprise, intriguing those around him.
This egg had only a yolk, no albumen. The entire yolk filled the egg completely.
Of course, this egg was small, the smallest he had seen aside from the little one.
Now he knew why this egg was so small. With only a yolk, the egg naturally formed to match its size.
Three days later, Bai Xiaoyu examined the egg Xiao Yue had sent. This twenty-one-year-dormant egg initially appeared to have a scattered yolk, but upon closer inspection, it turned out the yolk was naturally shaped like a jellyfish.
Fine, after seeing the oddly shaped egg, he could accept this one too.
The last egg was in such poor condition that any attempt to unfreeze it worsened its state.
During this period, Bai Xiaoyu extracted essence from the deep blue tentacles several times to create restorative agents, administering three doses to stabilize the egg.
After careful nurturing, one morning during a live stream, he finally deemed the egg stable enough for examination.
The viewers watching the live stream were amazed by the gradual recovery of the dormant eggs.
After all, the revival rate of dormant eggs was low, yet Bai Xiaoyu had revived all of them.
Even the worst-case scenario, analyzed by experts online who had declared it unrecoverable, had been revived. These experts, under pressure from Bai Xiaoyu’s fans, had gone into hiding.
At this moment, Bai Qing was also watching the live stream, looking somewhat dazed.
The elderly royal steward beside him, with graying hair, glanced at the egg and then at Bai Qing. "Your Majesty, this is the one recently transferred to Young Master Xiaoyu."
Bai Qing remained expressionless. "Keep a close eye on it."
The steward nodded, looking at the egg with a sigh. No one knew that the royal family still had an unhatched egg, which would affect the ranking of some royal members.
It remains to be seen whether this royal descendant, who has been in hibernation for many years, can successfully break free.
On the other side, at the Royal Pharmacy on Imperial Star, a person lying on a bed struggled to sit up, leaning against the headboard, and asked weakly, "Did he take that egg?"
An assistant nearby glanced at his optical brain and replied, "Yes, but according to the reports, the condition of the egg was very poor during transport. However, it now appears to have been safely transferred and seems to be doing well. He is currently live-streaming. Old Han, would you like to watch?"
The first speaker, with graying hair, nodded. "Send me the link to the live stream."
He quickly clicked on the link and watched as rows of hibernating eggs began to revive, with comments flooding in expressing amazement. The old man's eyes gradually filled with a manic glint.
It must be the original child. To wake up from such a situation!
Is this what a royal-level mental power looks like?
His deranged enthusiasm made the assistant uneasy, causing him to unconsciously step back.
At this moment, Old Han on the bed asked again, "Has he woken up yet?"
The assistant immediately understood whom he was referring to and respectfully replied, "Based on the mental power fluctuations and your previous data analysis, he should wake up within three months."
Old Han responded with a light cough, "That's good. Bring me the materials I need as soon as possible. You may go now."
After the assistant left, Old Han continued watching the live stream. Through Bai Xiaoyu's perspective, his expression gradually softened, even taking on a hint of kindness. Yet, the madness in his eyes remained. Back then, they were almost defeated by the sheer strength of the other's 3S mental power, forcing both of them into hibernation.
Even while still in the egg, he showed such remarkable mental power, born as a royal. It remains to be seen how strong he is now.
He firmly believed that after such a devastating collision, the other party could not have fully recovered either.
This was good; they still had a chance.
Bai Xiaoyu was unaware that someone coveted his mental power. His mental power quickly probed into the egg, and upon seeing what was inside, even though he had prepared himself mentally after seeing numerous eggs with various symptoms, he couldn't help but lose control of his expression.
For inside the egg was not an unhatched yolk and white, but a fully formed, curled-up, pale-faced pup!
